-6- FOR SAFE OPERATION
SO-NL-B17E/O
WARNING
11.
The machine is equipped with interlock functions such as the door
interlock, chuck interlock, tailstock spindle interlock (applies only to
machines equipped with a tailstock) and electrical cabinet door
interlock to ensure the operator's safety. All the interlock functions
must be ON when operating the machine. If you have to operate the
machine with the interlocks released, you must recognize that there
are many hazards involved and pay particular attention to safety
while operating the machine in this condition. After finishing the
necessary work, you must switch the interlocks back ON.
If the machine is operated with the interlocks released, it may
operate in an unexpected manner, causing accidents involving
serious injuries or damage to the machine.
12.
The door interlock function serves only to protect the machine
operator from accidents that can be prevented by inhibiting manual
and automatic operation of the spindle, axis movement, and all other
operations in automatic operation when the door is opened and
while it is open; it will not afford protection against other hazards.
For example, each machine user will machine a variety of workpiece
types and use a variety of workpiece holding fixtures, cutting tools,
and cutting conditions; you are still responsible for ensuring safety
with regard to the hazards that can arise from these user-specific
conditions.
13.
If the door interlock function is released, the machine is able to
operate with some limitations while the door is open, exposing you
to danger. In daily production operation, the door interlock function
must be set "valid" and the key operating the switch must be
removed from the switch and kept safely.
When shaping soft jaws, measuring the tool offset data, program
check, test cutting or carrying out other setup work, it may be
necessary to release the door interlock function. If you have to carry
out work while the interlock function is released, you must recognize
that there are many hazards involved and pay particular attention to
safety. While the door interlock function is released, the warning
lamp blinks in red and the warning buzzer beeps intermittently. You
must recognize that the door interlock function is in the released
state when the warning lamp is blinking in red and the warning
buzzer is beeping intermittently. After finishing the necessary work,
you must switch the interlock function back valid.
